- Prokaryotic cell structure
- mesosomes
- infolding of cell surface membrane (site of respiration)
- Plasmids
- small circle of DNA
- Capsule
- slimy layer on surface for protection and to prevent dehydration
- Pili
- thin, protein tubes allow bacteria to adhere to surfaces
- Flagellum
- hollow cylindrical thread-like structure rotates to move the cell
- Cytoplasm
- The cytoplasm functions to support and suspend organelles and cellular molecules.
- Many cellular processes also occur in the cytoplasm, such as protein synthesis, the first stage of cellular respiration (known as glycolysis), mitosis, and meiosis.
- Ribosomes (70S)
- site of protein synthesises
- Circular DNA
- Cell plasma membrane
- Cell wall
- peptidoglycan or murein, a type of polysaccharide and polypeptide combined
